Exegesis
The conjunction waw and Qal imperfect jussive utehi {וּתְהִי | wə-təhî} ‘and let it be’ introduce a wished-for clause where the demonstrative zot {זֹאת | zôt} ‘this’ serves as subject and tankhumoteichem {תַּנְחוּמֹתֵיכֶם | tannəḥūmōṯêḵem} ‘your consolations’ as predicate. The adverbial rendering of the infinitive absolute and the smoothing of the jussive clause preserve the Hebrew’s emphasis and urgency.
In context — Job 21:2
Listen attentively to my speech, and let this be your consolation .
